OT: ACC sues Maryland
The ACC isn't going quietly. Looks as though they decided to be proactive and collect their $52 million. Here is the lawsuit document:

The document establishes the buyout at a little over $52.2 million, actually. Likely filed first so as to be able to file in North Carolina instead of Maryland, maybe bring some of that Dukie refereeing to the table. Strong case in that regard as the lawsuit points out the ACC operates under North Carolina law.
As someone who prefers the ACC stay together, I'm happy to see the conference being proactive here, and IME, the uglier this gets, the better.

I'm going to go ahead and hold out hope that this torpedos Maryland's admission to the Big Ten.
